These Marshall Major V Headphones Are Nearly 50% Off Right Now

For anyone who’s ever been tempted by Marshall’s signature guitar-amp look in headphone form but couldn’t justify the premium price, the Major V wireless on-ears just hit their lowest price ever, according to price trackers. Originally $169.99, they’re now available on Amazon for $88.99. That’s a 48% drop for a pair of headphones that stand out mostly for their sound signature, battery life, and retro design.

You don’t get active noise cancellation or high-end audio codecs like LDAC, but you do get over 100 hours of battery life (real-life usage may vary), punchy bass, and a retro-inspired design that folds up easily. The headphones run on 40mm dynamic drivers, and the tuning leans toward deep bass and crisp highs. They produce clean, rumbling sub-bass that doesn’t distort even at higher volumes, notes this PCMag review. Vocals stay clear thanks to subtle sculpting in the upper range. It’s not studio-flat audio, but it’s definitely fun. You can further tweak the sound in the Marshall app, which also lets you remap the M button for Spotify Tap or voice assistant access. The joystick on the right earcup handles volume and playback and feels intuitive, something many pricier headphones still haven’t nailed.

That said, there are trade-offs. You don’t get ANC, which means outside noise will creep in, especially with the on-ear design. There’s no Fast Pair, and no pouch to protect them when tossed into a bag. But you do get Bluetooth 5.3, support for wired playback, and surprisingly decent internal mics for calls. Battery life, again, is the standout—well over 100 hours per charge with USB-C or wireless charging via the right earcup. That alone makes the discounted price easier to swallow. If you want headphones that look good, sound bold, and don’t need to block out a plane engine, the Major V makes a strong case, especially while they’re under $90.
